The Prince of Wales's marriage in 1795 was primarily motivated by his debts and the need for more cash. The criteria was very exacting: 1. A German princess 2. A princess from Germany 3. A Protestant German princess 4. Anyone who would marry him. So that's ok then! #GoPrinny

The cost of George IV's coronation in July 1821 was an impressive £238,000. During the service, His Majesty was observed 'continually nodding and winking' at his mistress Lady Conyngham 'and sighing and making eyes at her.' (Image: NPG) #GoPrinny

'George IV, succeeded his father in 1820, his regency having lasted nine years. Both his regency and reign owe all their lustre to the Duke of Wellington, all their blemishes to the king's selfish character.' (Image: NPG) #WellingtonWednesday #Harsh #GoPrinny

#otd 29 January 1820: George IV succeeds his father as King of Great Britain. Prince Regent since 1811, George was famous as an art collector, for good food, enjoying the company of marchionesses and for a disastrous marriage! (Image: NPG) #GoPrinny

@RoryMuir3 @mcribbHistory @latelordchatham I think he gets a bad press. A man of many flaws, but in other ways an attractive character, a great patron of the arts, and not given anything to do by his dad!! Also whatever his motivations, he saw the war through to its end #GoPrinny

April 1820: 'The Duke of Wellington...had an audience of the King the day before, who began by being in a great rage about the Civil List & the Speech, but had ended by being very good humoured...' #GoPrinny #WellingtonWednesday

#otd 29 January 1820: Accession of George IV. Prince Regent since 1811, he had seen the UK through to the successful conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars. The king was also the greatest royal art collector since Charles I #GoPrinny #GreatestKingEver

Unlike others, Lord Wellington wasn't worried about the Prince of Wales becoming Regent in 1811. He wrote: 'I think the circumstances of the Country, the state of the Parties, the conduct &...Life of the Prince are very different from...1788.' #GoPrinny #WellingtonWednesday
